FAQ on dry needling
What is dry needling?
Dry needling is a therapeutic method for treating muscular tension and so-called myofascial trigger points. Very fine, sterile acupuncture needles are inserted specifically into tense muscle areas with local muscle hardening.
How does the principle work?
The targeted puncturing of trigger points can trigger a local muscle reaction. It is discussed to what extent this reaction is related to blood flow, muscle tension and neurophysiological processes that play a role in states of pain and tension.
What is the aim of dry needling?
Topics that dry needling deals with:
muscular pain
muscle relaxation
mobility
recovery after exertion
No guarantee can be given for a specific effect or therapeutic success. The response to treatment varies from person to person.
Is dry needling safe?
Yes, the treatment is carried out according to high quality and hygiene standards. Only sterile single-use acupuncture needles specifically suited for dry needling are used. The treatment is carried out carefully and in accordance with physiotherapeutic standards.
Are there side effects or risks?
Even when carried out properly, side effects can occur. These include in particular:
local pain or tenderness
small bruises
temporary tiredness
very rarely infections
Before each treatment, you receive detailed information and give your consent.
Is dry needling suitable for everyone?
Not in all cases. In the case of pre-existing conditions, pregnancy, coagulation disorders or uncertainty, we carefully check in a preliminary consultation whether dry needling is suitable for you or whether alternative forms of therapy make more sense.
Can dry needling be combined with other methods?
Yes. Dry needling can be combined very well with other forms of therapy, especially manual therapy or craniosacral treatments. The combination is individual and depends on the findings.
